THE POLICE COMMISSION.

gan iZes--SOnle Conjectures.

That August Body Meets and Or
gan izes--SOme Conjectures.
The police commission held its first meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the city hall, all
the members being present. Adjt. Ward
read the act creating the commission and its
provisions. Mayor Ames. by virtue of his
office, was recognized as chairman, and
George L. Baker was elected vice president.
After some informal discussion it was de-
cided that the management of the police
department should remain with the mayor
until certain regulations are adopted. The
commission is to meet again this evening,
when the mayor is to make suggestions as
to what committees should be created. etc.
1t is likely that by this time the compilation
of police reports since 1878, made by the
mayors direction, will be ready, and the
commission will then have data upon
which to base its actions.
Speculation was rife yesterday as to how
the commission will be likely to affect the
police department, and there were some
anxious faces to be seen about the narrow
corridors of the city hall. 1t is probable
that the commission means to go slow, and
that there will be no radical changes, at least
for the present.

At the meeting of those interested in the
thresher works held at the board of trade
rooms yesterday the committee reported

nounced. Messrs. John S. Mcdonald, A.
b. Nettleton, j. B. Bassett. Levi Long
fellow and w. A. Barnes were made a

A Site on Tenth Street Secured for the
New Building

The Young Mems Christian association
bought site for the new building of Mrs.
Elvira E. Bernard at the corner of Tenth
street and Mary Place. The lots have a
frontage on Tenth street of 9715 feet and
extend back 1865 feet to an alley. The
price paid was 1874, 1875, OF $3.50 front
foot. The building committee have been
negotiating this purchase for several
days past and consider that they
have secured bargain. The
location is the most desirable that could
possibly be secured for the purposes of the
association. 1t lies between the two great
avenues of the city, is convenient to the
new library building and can be easily
reached by the members of the association,
a large majority of whom live beyond
Eighth street. 1t is the peculiar purpose
of the Y. NJ. G. A. to supply comfortable
resting place for young men in business;
those whom it seeks to reach live
largely in boarding houses. During
business hours their time is en-
tirely occupied, but their evenings
are to be spent as may be. The association
endeav0rs to supply an attractive home for
such young fellows. thus keeping them out
of bad company. The location secured yes
terday will be more convenient for this
class than one nearer to business. Secre-
tary Elliot spends all his spare moments
now in sketching ground plans for the new
building. Three prominent features are to
be the gymnasium, the labatories and the
lecture room, which last will have seating
capacity of l, 900, and will be rented for
musicales and lectures. The gymnasium is
to be on the first floor and will be large, airy
and splendidly fitted. Ample parlors, read
ing and class rooms and offices will be pro-
vided, and the building will be model in
all its appointments. The building COM
mittee now has over $4,000 in signed
pledges. Now that site has been secured
renewed efforts will be made to raise funds
so that operations may be begun this year.
